About the Item

Panther in the Grass is by artist Jeff Slemons .There is the use of the palette knife which builds up a texture of the oil paints used in this landscape/animal painting. Wild cats that have a dark (melanistic) color are often referred to as “panthers” or “black panthers,” including big and small wild cats such as jaguars, leopards and jaguarundi. The word “melanin” means black or dark. Melanin is a type of pigment (coloring). If you look closely at a melanistic cat’s skin, you will see the markings typically associated with that species. Large black (melanistic) wild cats in captivity are usually leopards or jaguars. A litter can include both melanistic and non-melanistic cats. Because most melanistic wild cats were found in jungles with less light than other types of environments, it was believed that the melanism (dark coloring) was an inherited trait or condition that aided the cat’s survival – an evolutionary process of natural selection. New research suggests that melanism might be a helpful immune system mutation. Jeff Slemons says :I’ve been an illustrator for about 25 years. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ve worked pretty hard to be able to do something with absolutely no job security. It’s a roller coaster ride all the way and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. From fine art inspired by long-ago greats, to cartoons and hysterical illustrations of the modern day – I do it all! At some point I think I’ve done all I can and it’s time to call it done. In the back of my mind I made a mental note to do a bigger version at some point. On a bigger format perhaps things can be communicated more clearly. Should that happen look for a full report here. Until next time.

In the fall 2023 she will teach a workshop at a castle in France, where artists will stay and enjoy the southern French food and scenes. I paint because it’s the best way I know to communicate, study, and observe creative work that’s how Texas painter V…. Vaughan (the first initial stands for Virginia) describes her drive to create fine art. “It’s a calling,” she says of her life’s work, which has taken several twists and turns but has, nevertheless, led her down the path toward fulfillment. A lifelong Texan, Vaughan grew up in the Austin area and today makes her home in Round Rock, a suburb of the capital city. As a child, she exhibited a love of making art and played the role of the creative one among the seven children in her family, eventually working for several of her siblings as a sign painter and designer. Her parents forever encouraged her to appreciate and mine her passion, instilling in her that it was not simply a passing fancy, but an innate gift. “It was always conveyed to me that this was a God-given talent,” she says. Somehow that made me feel like it was something I was supposed to do. It gave me permission to pursue it. Vaughan attended college on an athletic scholarship, though she filled her schedule with art classes and subsequently secured an internship at an advertising agency. That introduction to the corporate world set her off in a new direction—she left school to parlay the summer job into a full-time position. She continued to work as a commercial artist for many years after that, winning several prestigious ADDY Awards and working on high-profile accounts for Samsung, the Lady Bird Johnson...
